We launched a Smart Saves program to promote sustainable actions, with an initial focus on reducing energy use from compressed air. During the year, we encouraged bakeries to identify and repair costly compressed air leaks.

We completed the 10th anniversary of our tray recycling program, recycling nearly one million pounds of broken high-density polyethylene (HDPE) trays instead of putting them into landfill.

We participated, for the first time, in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Water Survey.

Flowers' Suwanee bakery glows brightly with much less energy behind ESS Director Lisa Leemore and Director of Engineering Randy Johnson. In 2015, the bakery began installing LED lights that have reduced energy usage for lighting by 70%.
